Taylor Swift could sue Kim Kardashian and Kanye West over leaking their conversation

If you're knee deep in this Taylor Swift/Kanye West/Kim Kardashian debacle now might be a good time to grab the popcorn, because the 'Shake It Off' singer is allegedly considering suing the Keeping Up With The Kardashians couple over the recording and sharing of their conversation.

So Kim Kardashian sent the internet into meltdown yesterday when she shared video recordings of Taylor Swift and Kanye West discussing his 'Famous' lyrics on her Snapchat - despite Taylor's team previously claiming she knew nothing about it.

But it looks like it isn't over yet, after TMZ reported that Taylor's attorney threatened Kimye with legal action back in FEBRUARY over the videos, as it's illegal in the state of California to record someone without their permission.

In a letter the gossip site obtained, her attorney stated: "Demand is hereby made that you immediately destroy all such recordings, provide us of assurance that this has been done, and also assurance that these recordings have not been previously disseminated."

If Taylor does decide to press charges, Kimye could be looking at criminal charges for committing a felony - but Us Weekly reported yesterday that they knew this before sharing the recordings.

A source commented: "Kim and Kanye consulted with their lawyers and still went ahead with releasing it. They are not worried. They're sick of Taylor's manipulations and her good girl act. They just wanted to expose her as a fake and will let the lawyers deal with the legal stuff."

Interestingly, the mere act of recording someone else without them knowing about it is a crime in California, regardless of whether or not you release it - so really, Kimye were no worse off for sharing it with the world.
